UPDATE: 2018-05-25 Geth has been identified as the ultimate culprit by eating all available RAM causing the server to go to a crawl. I’ve switched the node to parity to fix the issue. The change to parity as the main websocket thin client provider however has caused an error related to filters uninstall call in …

The Etherwall server went down sometime around 13th May. I am currently out of country with no way of logging in. I’m returning on Friday 18th and should be able to restart the service by then. If you need to move your assets and use the thin client mode (default) here are your best options …

Ever since cryptokitties started spamming the network the geth node stopped keeping up due to IO slowness. There’s a planned server upgrade adding a faster SSD drive for chaindata storage at 19:00 CET. This should hopefully fix the synchronization issues. NOTE: there will be a full blackout of the server including this page for a …

Cryptokitties has landed on ethereum and cause major havoc by overloading the network. In my opinion this is a good thing even tho it gives me headaches right now because it caused Etherwall’s remote node to be behind on synchronization. Our server runs on a big but slower disk now and this caused it to …

Etherwall v2.1.0 is about to be released with ERC20 support! This brings Etherwall to feature parity with the official ethereum wallet with the nice bonus of a thin client so people don’t have to download 40gb of chaindata. Some performance improvements have been added in this release as well.

Ethdev has done it again and has released a quick last minute fix for go-ethereum just before the Byzantium hard fork. I’ve waited patiently for 1.7.1 knowing that 1.7.0 would soon be followed by an update, but I didn’t expect them to make another rushed hushed fix just hours before the big fork. Seems EthDev …

Version 2.0.5 of Etherwall adds support of showing server warnings. This is required as the main geth node server is running out of space again and needs to be resynced and pruned, which means downtime. I’m also changing the server-side to provide node endpoints so that the clients can connect to different remote nodes once …

Version 2.0.3 went through a refactor and I completely missed a bug in contract/events. Version 2.0.4 fixes that alongside bringing initial part of ERC20 support. Note that this is a WIP and the only implemented part is discovery of token contracts and getting the symbol back. Now that eth_call is implemented however, you can use Token …

UPDATE: 2017-08-15 the server has been restored The server hosting geth for the “thin client” mode has ran out of disk space causing Etherwall to fall behind for people using the thin client. I have restarted the server to re-sync from scratch pruning the db to keep the size down. This means a downtime of …

This version brings a lot of exciting changes: Thin client support TREZOR ONE hardware wallet support Rinkeby testnet Thin client means no more cumbersome downloads of 30GB+ for the ethereum blockchain!
